he went up into a mountain apart to pray:
and when the evening was come, he was there
alone.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea,
tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went
unto them, walking on the sea.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the
sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and
they cried out for fear.
But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying,
Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be
thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come
down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to
go to Jesus.
But wh
en he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
beginning to
sink, he cried,
saying,
Lord, save me.
And
immediately
Jesus
stretched
forth his hand,
and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of
little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
And when they were come into the ship, the
wind ceased.
Then they that were in the ship came and
worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art
the Son of God." Matthew 14:23-33
